> Have a lead agent keep track of your work. With a real task tool. I can drive several projects at once. I finally (have an agent) keep my work journal updated.

Do you have an agent you can share for this? Sounds like something I'd like to try

I don’t really use off the shelf agents. Usually just string together what I need. In this case I give the lead agent an mcp tool and tell it to use the service to track all work, and what should count and not. For work I use private GitHub project board and for personal stuff obsidian and markdown.

I don’t like big fat agents that try to do too much. Better to keep it lean, each agent prompt is really just a short brief, like a paragraph or two. If it’s longer consider breaking off skills and tell the agent the list of skills it might use.
